Lego DC Super Heroes: Justice League - Attack of the Legion of Doom! a.k.a LEGO DC Super Heroes: Justice League vs Legion of Doom
DC Entertainment, The LEGO Group, Warner Bros. Animation, USA, 2015.
Justice League has made life hard for the supercriminals. Superman (Nolan North), Wonder Woman (Grey Griffin), Cyborg (Khary Payton), Green Lantern Hal Jordan (Josh Keaton) and The Flash (James Arnold Taylor) vote Batman (Troy Baker) to be their leader for now.

Lex Luthor (John DiMaggio) and Darkseid (Tony Todd) have a new plan. They form an alliance of supercriminals, the Legion of Doom! Many candidates appear but only the most skilled criminals can join. They must survive Sasuke-style obstacle course first.

The Legion of Doom combines the forces of Lex Luthor, Black Manta, Sinestro, Captain Cold (Kevin Michael Richardson), Gorilla Grodd (Kevin Michael Richardson) and Cheetah (Cree Summer). They plan to steal secret alien weapons from Area 52. They find a capsule containing an alien creature, something that General Sam Lane (James Arnold Taylor) would like to keep hidden.
Cyborg is the weakest of the team and blundering makes him lose faith in himself. Also League of Doom tricks the heroes and angry people banish them. Maybe Cyborg's technical skills can help revealing the conspiracy and saving the day. Also Martian Manhunter (Dee Bradley Baker) appears.

The plot is more traditional superhero adventure than in previous LEGO DC Super Heroes movie and also the relationships of the group are better defined. The Flash and Green Lantern are constantly competing. Superman is a country boy who admires Batman. Wonder Woman is the common sense and mother figure. Batman is moody as always. Cyborg is the youngest and he has not yet found his position in the team. There are some lessons about finding your own abilities and also not fearing something just because it is different.
As a fun detail the mug shots of the heroes reveal that their Lego-height is about 1.5". Although these Lego DC Super Heroes are more clearly aimed at kids than for example Lego Batman, there are now more jokes referencing the DC universe. Mark Hamill voices Trickster and in one scene says that he is not the Joker (which is funny because he also voices Joker). There are good amount of visual jokes and puns. The animation looks nice and colourful with some cool spaceship battles in the end. If you like Lego-movies you will also like this.
The only DVD Extra is a featurette telling about the making of sound effects. It has some fun information about work of foley-artists.

Täytyy laittaa tämäkin katselulistalle vastaisuuden varalta.
ReplyDeleteSelkeää parannusta tässä oli Bizarro-leagueen verrattuna, vaikka sekin oli hauska.
DeleteIhan mukavasti näissä saa tutustua myös itselle ennestään tuntemattomiin hahmoihin, kun itse en ole hirveästi DC/Marvel-sarjakuvia lukenut Supermania ja Batmania lukuunottamatta. Esim. Cheetah ja Martian Manhunter oli uusia tuttavuuksia.
DC:llä ja Marvelilla noita sankarishahmoja ja konniakin piisaa siinä määrin isosti, että aina sieltä löytyy sellaisiakin, joista ei välttämättä ole koskaan ennen kuullutkaan. Osa jopa ihan mielenkiintoisiakin sellaisia...
